We were recently informed about a case where a cow’s ear was badly injured due to a dog bite. The animal was later treated and the wound stitched successfully by the caretaker.
This case reminds us how serious dog bites can be, especially because of the risk of rabies — a deadly disease that affects both animals and humans.
🚨 Important Steps After a Dog Bite:
1️⃣ Clean the wound immediately with soap and plenty of clean water.
2️⃣ Contact a qualified veterinarian for proper wound care and antibiotics.
3️⃣ Start Anti-Rabies Vaccination (ARV) immediately as per the schedule.
4️⃣ Give Tetanus Toxoid injection to prevent secondary infection.
💉 Early action saves lives!
